Napoli Faces Multiple Absences Before Facing Monza

Napoli will be without the services of Victor Osimhen and Matteo Politano due to suspensions ahead of their match against Monza in Serie A, amidst increasing injuries that are raising concerns for coach Walter Mazzarri. In a press conference, Mazzarri stated, "Lobotka is the first choice, if he is fit physically, he will play. If not, I have great confidence in (Jens) Cajuste, who will become very strong. Lindstrom is not able to play 90 minutes even if he is fit, so he either starts or comes on as a substitute." He added, "We are in an emergency state; I have even prepared a list." Osimhen and Politano were sent off in the 2-0 loss to Roma, while Stanislav Lobotka got injured in that match and midfielder Jesper Lindstrom missed it due to injury. Doubts remain about the players' participation in the match against Monza.
